Brownstone IT: Vehicle mounted mobile satellite internet access terminal.

From PRESS RELEASE by Brownstone IT - East Sussex, UK 14th March 2005

BrownstoneIT is proud to present its fully functional mobile satellite broadband demonstration vehicle.

There is a need to provide broadband connectivity in remote areas, to use for mobile libraries, road shows or exhibitions. This normal white van has been converted into a mobile internet station by installing a fully operational satellite dish that can be operated anywhere.

The Mobile Satellite Broadband solution does not require cell phones or phone lines to connect to the Internet. If you can see the sky to the south, you can have broadband access to the Internet. So, buses, lorries, vans and other vehicles can achieve broadband speeds no matter where they are parked.

This is the first affordable mobile platform that will act as a mount for any dish from any service provider. So whether you simply want internet access or a more sophisticated solution to give you VPN's, Voice or Video conferencing, BrownstoneIT can offer a service to match.

The Brownstone IT demonstration vehicle is set up to distribute the broadband signal through a wired LAN on the van and also through a wireless LAN. Any hand-held device, such as a laptop or a PDA within range of the external antenna, will also obtain broadband access to the Internet, making this a truly mobile solution.

Ideal for disaster recovery, outreach projects, command and control vehicles, outdoor events, mobile classrooms, portable construction offices, oil and gas platforms.

The van is available for demonstration to anyone who is interested in this versatile mobile solution.  Visit www.brownstoneit.com  for more information.
